I know I've been standing on my soapbox talking about turning the BIG 6-0, lol and I am delighted to tell it, it ain't bad!! ( my mother loved the correct use of colloquialisms, haha ) She was also elegant & funny, a great dancer and the one I looked up to for all things gracious.So when my friend Kwavi called to join in her upcoming Summit about flourishing in midlife, I had to say YES!! I've been watching her over the past while celebrating herself, as she just turned 50, her new mantra was 50 Years Bold. I've seen her celebrating herself and doing...

You know when you say, “ gee what would you say to your 18-year-old self?" Well, I had that exact opportunity, funnily enough, this whole Summer, as I had an 18-year-old intern who pestered me to work with me earlier this Spring. The first 2 weeks were, as always somewhat disconcerting, out-of-sync getting used to each other, her probably feeling too young and me definitely feeling too old.

You know when people ask that question " what would you tell your 18-year old self? "Well, as it stands, I have a wonderful 18-year-old Summer intern working with me right now.

Fabulous Forever!! Would you like to be Forever Fabulous??I have been reflecting on the fact I am turning 60 in a short 20 days … and I had a lot of random, funny and curious thoughts popping up.Remembering running through the forests picking huckleberries & climbing up 60 foot Douglas Fir trees in our neighborhood, having my worried parents talk me down from the treetops as I wanted to touch the sky.Clambering over slippery wet river rocks in the Capilano River with my dear childhood friend Kenny, looking at tadpoles, watching the salmon swimming upstream and spawning, the sun dappling...

Shocking, yes I know! But I did it ~ My good friends Kenny & David came to visit me and I wanted to set aside any other commitments, be it anything that I might have done for my companies, commitments I made for homework ( as crazy online entrepreneurs we are always enrolled in multiple courses at any one time ) to any community commitments I had made. I was taking the weekend OFF.The boys were arriving starting Friday morning ~ I wanted to clear the decks for my Q2 accounting and get my files over to my bookkeeper BEFORE Friday morning. So...
